originally, a female opera singer. Then in the 80s MTV defined "diva" as a "woman singer who sings with emotion". Whitney Houston and Tina Turner were listed as divas. Now it basically refers to a music or movie star who is famous for her sexiness but has zero talent. She thinks the universe revolves around her and is surrounded by yesmen/yeswomen who roll out the red carpet and kiss her ass, telling her she's great. A self-centered rich bitch. There are a lot of spoiled talentless haughty divas around today.
Mariah Carey is constantly greeted by toadies and ass-kissers who tell her she looks nice every day and they roll out a red carpet before her. She's such a diva. Also, Britney Spears is out partying all the time this week while most of us have to work. What a diva!

1. a member of a generic corporate shitass pop group that hit it big in the late 90s and early 00s. Nobody likes them except tween and teen girls who have godawful taste in music.
2. a young teen boy or a 20-something Gen Y man who follows along with whatever shit the idiots in suits dish out, gets a stupid haircut for a couple of bucks, doesn't know anything about rock'n'roll culture, likes Ally McBeal and basically wastes his life away.

1. The Backstreet Boys for real fucking suck out the ass.
2. The employee at the music store came up to me and asked me if I needed help finding anything. I asked do you have any CDs by the band Genesis. That backstreet boy took me over to the Christian pop section. What a dumbass!

Quite simply, it's having sexual activity with someone, anyone when you just KNOW Armegeddon is arriving, and I mean really FAST.
1. In the comedy movie "Spies Like Us", 2 stumblebum agents played by Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd along with a female agent also hired by the U.S. military (Dan's real-life wife Donna Dixon) tangle with a Soviet Army team at a Soviet ICBM launch team. In the process the nuclear missile gets launched by mistake. Everyone there whether they be from the U.S.A. or the U.S.S.R thinks that this error will spark the nuclear suicide of planet Earth so everyone decides to have apocalypse sex when the end comes. Dan motions for Donna to enter his tent nearby, she smiles and joins him. Chevy Chase gestures for a female Russkie beauty to be his death partner, she joins him. The remaining 2 in the group are both Russian men - one grins like a child. Yeah I know - a dopey old homophobic joke about foreigners - hyuk hyuk. The ICBM malfunctions in the sky anyway.
2. The Tears For Fears song "Famous Last Words" is about a romantic couple being together when nuclear doomsday is imminant. The song doesn't say if the two are having apocalypse sex, however.
3. Apocalypse sex is what happens when two lovers hold on each other tight at the end of the world. On the other hand, on an episode of M*A*S*H*, a TV show set during the Korean War, Dr. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce and Major "Hot Lips" Hoolahan, who normally can't stand each other, are trapped in a shelter during intense bombing and they have a sort of "apocalypse sex" because they fear they won't survive the night's shelling.

the worst cinema motion picture release of all time, released in 1990. The storyline and plot are badly written, the acting is crummy to the hilt, the comedic elements and jokes are a bit on the sadistic nature - hell, even the obligitory sex scene is so phony you won't believe the directors and producers put it in like they did. It stars Kirstie Alley who was then starring in the cool TV series Cheers.
Don't waste your time with seeing Sibling Rivalry. It's absolutely depressing that this shit was actually promoted and advertised as a comedy.

1. a tune by the Beatles that is notorious for possibly being the first rock'n'roll hit that prominently features a non-Western instrument - in this case the sitar. The lyrics describe the evolution of an extra-marital affair that John had that was now over. Paul sang the words. The title phrase is a play on phonetics - the line "knowing she would" in the lyrics was considered to be too risque for radio so that phrase was replaced by "Norwegian Wood". If you ask me, that sounds even more "risque" or at least funny to me!
2. what you get after a night of laying with a Norwegian woman.

1. in my college class of "Art and Music of the Post-WWII Era" one day our professor played "Norwegian Wood" as an example of the Beatles' contribution to music and culture. She explained the meaning behind the lyrics and then asked us, "Does anybody know why it's called 'Norwegian Wood'?". I think "Norwegian girl, woody...", then I start laughing. She says, "I hear some giggling back there!"
2. Garry laid a young Norwegian waitress he met at a restaurant. The next morning he woke up with Norwegian Wood.

it's when someone comes up an idea that any thinking person would've thought of him/her self a long time ago.
In 2000 Bruce graduated from college. He tried to find work in his field but he wasn't lucky. There was NOTHING out there. He went to a temp agency to find some work but there wasn't much of that around either.
Then 9/11 occured. People everywhere got into a witch hunt frenzy. Then came American Idol to distract the populous. The Iraq war reignited passions again. Then it bogged down into an urban guerilla war like in Somalia and it wasn't as much "fun" for some people. Last year was an election year and candidates and the TV boobs FINALLY recognized that the economy is in a sucky-ass shape and has been for a long time. Is that a major duh factor or what? Bruce wondered what took all these people so long to realize what he noticed 8 years before?
